[quote=Anonymous]I had cystic acne as a teen and into my early 20’s. Tried all of the topicals and antibiotics. Nothing worked. Accutane was a game changer. Here’s what I remember: Within a few weeks, skin was MEASURABLY improved. Blood tests were required. There will be birth defects if you become pregnant. I became addicted to lip balm; Aquaphor worked the best. Also, since then I’ve seen reports about Accutane possibly causing depression and contributing to suicide. My experience was the exact opposite. My acne was large, painful, and severe. My confidence improved substantially once it went away. It was addressed with one course of Accutane. It’s not an exaggeration to say that the drug was life changing for me. My husband also had acne and did two courses of Accutane. I didn’t know him then and can’t speak to the severity. I’m afraid our 14 yr old is doomed given the gene pool. [/quote]
